Chapter 101: The Battle for the Throne
No matter how unobtrusive Xu Yanyi is, the group of people standing behind him will not care.
The emperor waited all night and didn't see the master, but Xu Chong was a little anxious, and lowered his voice and said to the little eunuch beside him, "Have you gone outside to see if the master is coming?" ”
"Yes!" The young little eunuch had a very white face, and ran out with small steps.
After a while, the little eunuch ran back and whispered in Xu Chong's ear, "Several adults are here!" ”
Although it was a whisper, the emperor still heard it, and now that the general trend was gone, he just wanted to know who was so capable.
After a while, three men in regular clothes walked in, all of whom were familiar faces to the emperor, including An Chenghan, who he trusted the most, and two of whom were also his trusted courtiers.
"See Your Majesty!" Among the three, only An Chenghan paid homage to the emperor.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at this courtier, and said in a rough voice, "You are Xu Chong's master?" ”
"Your Majesty has a high opinion of Weichen!" An Chenghan glanced at Xu Chong, who was standing on the side, and nodded slightly, "I don't dare to be Lord Xu's master!" ”
The emperor's face changed slightly, "You're not the mastermind?" ”
"Yes and no!" An Chenghan raised an eyebrow.
The emperor's face darkened completely, "Do you still have to guess dumb riddles with me at this time?" Is there anything behind you that you can't see? ”
"Lord An, don't talk nonsense! It's better to deal with it earlier to welcome His Royal Highness back to the palace and inherit the unification. Another middle-aged man standing beside An Chenghan spoke, his face impatient.
"Lord Lin, don't worry!" An Chenghan smiled, "We have been in love with Your Majesty for many years, so we can't talk about it more, besides, now Your Highness is sleepy and sleeping, and we still have a long time!" ”
"That's right!" The man standing a little behind was a little younger, looking about twenty-five or sixteen, "Lord An and His Majesty are connected by marriage, naturally not as good as us, Lord Lin might as well go to the side with me to drink tea and rest for a while, I didn't sleep all night last night!" ”
"Huh!" That Master Lin squinted at him with his big eyes, "You said that you contributed last night?" ”
"I'm worried!" Actually, it's not, it's just that I enjoyed a night of singing and dancing last night, and it's very simple.
Lord Lin expressed his dislike for this young man all over his body, but he still went to the side hall next to him, and Xu Chong also followed, and called the two little eunuchs to cut the tea.
Now there are only two people left in the imperial study, the emperor and An Chenghan, the two big men look at each other, and after being silent for a long time, the emperor took the lead in breaking the silence, "I have a lot of things to know, but what I want to ask most now is An Qing, why did you betray me?" ”
This kind of doubt is like the emperor doesn't understand that Xu Chong also betrayed himself, if everyone else can understand it, but being betrayed by the most trusted person around him is the most unacceptable to the emperor, and he can't figure out why until now?
"I'm curious, who is so capable of bribing everyone around me?" The emperor looked at An Chenghan in front of him, and only felt familiar and unfamiliar.
"Your Majesty, you were wrong from the beginning!" An Chenghan smiled, "I am not Your Majesty's courtier, I and even the entire An family are loyal to the Great Xuan Dynasty!" ”
"A hundred years ago, the palace change of the Daxuan royal family, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor disappeared, which allowed your Xiao family to successfully enter the dynasty." An Chenghan paced to himself, but the words in his mouth were enough to make the emperor sitting at the top feel incredible, "In order to find the bloodline of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are hidden among the commoners, waiting for the opportunity to move. ”
"Da Xuan died early!" When the emperor heard this, he only felt ridiculous, "The ministers of Daxuan have also been killed by Taizu one by one, what kind of loyal minister are you in the An family?" ”
"Your Majesty is wrong again!" An Chenghan looked at the emperor disapprovingly, "How can Da Xuan's strength be understood by thieves like you?" As long as we can, each of us can be a loyal subject of Daxuan. ”
"But you don't need to know!" A cruel smile curled up at the corner of An Chenghan's mouth, "Your Majesty is a smart person, and now I ask Your Majesty to write an edict!" ”
"You are so capable, and you still need me to write an edict of abdication?" The Emperor looked at An Chenghan with resentment.
An Chenghan shook his head, "Your Highness is a righteous future monarch, and you don't need your abdication edict, I want you to write an edict of guilt, and write about how your Xiao clan stole the throne of Daxuan in the first place!" ”
"Impossible!" When the emperor heard this, he excitedly smashed the inkstone at hand at An Chenghan, but his emotions were too intense, which caused the toxins on his body to spread faster.
"Your Majesty also thinks more about his own heirs!" An Chenghan frowned slightly.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" The Emperor smiled coldly, "If I die, will you let them go?" ”
"Of course!" An Chenghan looked at the emperor, "Even if you leave their lives behind, don't worry!" ”
"This world can only be the world of Daxuan, no matter how many thieves like you appear, one day Daxuan will return to its rightful place." An Chenghan turned around and looked at the clear blue sky outside, "Your Majesty has already made a decision!" ”
With that, turn and leave.
There are many follow-up things to deal with, such as those relics!
An Chenghan went to the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace first, and the Queen Mother was quite peaceful, but there were many guards guarding the door, and when they saw An Chenghan, they all pushed it open and opened the palace door.
An Chenghan stepped into the palace and saw the Queen Mother sitting on the phoenix throne, looking tired, accompanied by only an old lady.
"Niangniang, Lord An is here!" The old lady was a little excited, "Your Majesty must have eradicated the chaotic party!" ”
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and looked at her nephew, she was not too optimistic in her heart, if the crisis was resolved, why did her nephew come alone?
Raised his hand to signal the old lady to be quiet before speaking, "Why did Cheng Han come?" ”
"Come for the mother!" An Chenghan frowned and looked at his aunt who was related by blood, "Niangniang entered the palace draft decades ago against her grandfather's wishes, have you ever regretted it?" ”
The Queen Mother fell into memories, it was a long, long time ago, at that time, for some reason, my father strongly opposed his entry into the palace draft, and wanted to marry himself to a poor scholar, although the scholar later became an important minister of the court, but he was always a minister, a slave, how could he be a master?
"Bold!" The old lady scolded sharply, "How dare Lord An speak so disrespectfully to Niangniang? ”
An Chenghan didn't look at the old woman, just beckoned, and someone outside came in and dragged the old woman away, and it was useless to keep such noisy slaves.
The Queen Mother looked at this nephew coldly, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, "What is Cheng Han doing?" Threatening the mourners? No matter what happened outside, what role do you play, the mourning family is the queen mother, and you are also your aunt! ”
